Happy Harbor is a fictional United States location in Rhode Island [ [http://www.karridian.net/dcusa_ne.html DC Atlas - New England] ] , referenced in DC Comics as the location of the first headquarters, "Justice Mountain" or the "Secret Sanctuary", of the Justice League of America, first appearing in "The Brave and the Bold" #28. This New England municipality was also the home of Snapper Carr in the comic book series, and the hideout itself was additionally the setting of the demise of the Doom Patrol team of super-heroes. Later, the facility would be used by other versions of the Justice League, the android superhero Hourman, a new incarnation of the Doom Patrol and, for a time, Young Justice.

"Secret Origins" #32 indicates the mountain cave was located in RI, although the elevation drawings used in that comic book show the mountain at an altitude higher than Rhode Island's actual highest elevation, Jerimoth Hill.

Young Justice

In "Young Justice" #3, Happy Harbor is the focus of a history-altering temporal event. Due to a time-traveling, serious-minded, younger Mister Mxyzptlk, the only outpost of civilized humanity is the city's civic center, crowded with partying teenagers. When Mxy is convinced to assume a life of humor, the world changes back to the way it was, with one exception; Happy Harbor gains a Mxyzptlk-themed amusement park.

During the Sins of Youth storyline, age-altered supervillains attack the town but were soon stopped by age-affected heroes.

During the "52" series, Martian Manhunter constructs a memorial to deceased JLA members in the hills above Happy Harbor. Already it is out of date, as two have returned to life.
